Oh, I'm starting to realize something

As I said the other day, I wasn't crazy about the Velvet Underground, but then yesterday I realized that Lou Reed's New York album came out 25 years ago, which made me think that Lou was 47 then, and had already been Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground and all other weird permutations of Lou.  Meanwhile, I'm nearly 45 and have done nothing, so my life has all the characteristics of a failure.  Cheers.
